** Description changed: + [Impact] + + * NOAA changed the URL for the service metar relies on to retrieve weather information + * This has been fixed in 20061030.1-2.2 that is in YY and ZZ (LP: #1610210) + but not yet in XX (16.04 LTS) and previous releases + * justification: the metar program will not display any weather information + anymore without the fix (complete functionality loss for users) + * remedy: update URL in the source (it is hardcoded) + (a work-around is to set the environment variable to the new URL + METARURL=http://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/data/observations/metar/stations) + + [Test Case] + + * install metar # 20061030.1-2ubuntu2 + * metar FACT # metar information for Cape Town Airport (CPT) + -> METAR pattern not found in NOAA data + (correct would be something like: FACT 251000Z 18020KT CAVOK 22/13 Q1017 NOSIG) + + [Regression Potential] + + * just a hardcoded URL fix, no program change otherwise + * works in Debian sid & testing, Ubuntu YY and ZZ + + [Other Info] + + * Stable upload in progress as well for next Debian Jessie point- + release + + ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- + All metar fetches are failing: $ metar LSZH METAR pattern not found in NOAA data.
